Drive is an adaptation of James Sallis novel about “a nameless Hollywood stuntman (Gosling) who moonlights as a freelance getaway driver during robberies. When a bank heist goes wrong, he ends up on the run with a contract on his head and an ex-con’s girlfriend in his car.” Mulligan will play the unlucky passenger.

The screenplay was written by Hossein Amini, who also penned Killshot. The film is scheduled to start shooting in Los Angeles in September. We wonder who Cranston’s going to play? The ex-con? It would be really weird for Mulligan to be his girlfriend but then again, haven’t we seen worse? He could be a cop of some sort, or maybe even the assassin sent out to kill Gosling’s character. The possibilities are endless.

What do you think of Mulligan joining Drive? Do you think she and Gosling are a good match?
